# Identifier vs SecurityCake SHIELD

The clearest difference is rating: SecurityCake SHIELD at 5.0 against Identifier's 4.7. SecurityCake SHIELD also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and device support (3 vs 1). Identifier's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Identifier sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and SecurityCake SHIELD sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
